The All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) on Thursday wrote to President Droupadi Murmu and West Bengal Governor RN Ravi, seeking appointments with AITC delegations to highlight what it alleged was lawlessness and the disturbing, systematic misuse of the police by the BJP in the state.
This comes after the office of Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Abhishek Banerjee was allegedly ransacked and looted by unidentified men early Thursday. He questioned whether the West Bengal governor, Union home minister Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Office would take action over the incident.
Banerjee directly accused West Bengal chief minister Suvendu Adhikari of resorting to intimidation, asking why he was “so scared of the Trinamool Congress and of me”.
